    The saddest part of this was that I’m so used to the creationists’ approach to covid that before finishing the headline, I genuinely assumed it was a woman trying to rid themselves of every ounce of their own DNA in a bid to outfox the government.

    That’s where we are right now. Were I correct, I would not have been fazed. I always loathed that movie with everything in me, but I think it’s because I saw it as meaning to entertain rather than to warn.

    Never understood the dumbass pspsps thing. It’s annoying and I’ve pretty much never seen it work. What always has worked for me is to chill just a little ways away and completely ignore them. Just as non-threatening as you can make yourself if you were a piece of furniture left out on the sidewalk.

    From personal experience, cats hate being made to do things and don’t come when called unless they already know you and like you a lot. But they also loathe being ignored and will snoof right over shortly to the one person being completely indifferent to them.

    This would be the same reason they seem to mercilessly hunt anyone with a cat allergy. Your perceived dislike of them shall not stand!


  • The ability to punch him in the face, directly, without even handing him a warning, is still somehow one of my favorite moments. It is one I reloaded just to do it again. I love him so much, but it really did feel satisfying.

    Plus, when he sees your leftovers in the morning, he just goes, “Oh no, something terrible happened!” and then continues walking to his fucking tent. Motherfucker was really going to murder me and just pretend to the whole group that he didn’t know anything about it.

    Like yeah, I get it. That’s not only very like him, he’s between a rock and a hard place when it comes to his own survival. From where he’s standing, lying his immaculate ass off is the best chance he’s got. The only chance. But dude. That is a bruise he earned.

    I am curious about how they animated that, actually. Did someone really hit the actor in the face? That was pretty well done.


  • On the other hand, among women with five years or longer of follow-up, those with a high carbohydrate intake of more than 65% had a higher risk of all-cause mortality. No clear association was observed between refined or minimally processed carbohydrate intake and the risk of mortality in women.

    For fats, men with a high fat intake of more than 35% of their total energy from fats had a higher risk of cancer-related mortality. They also found that a low intake of unsaturated fat in men was associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality.

    In contrast, total fat intake and saturated fat intake in women showed an inverse association with the risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality. They concluded that this finding does not support the idea that high fat intake is detrimental to longevity in women.

    So, hesitantly, keto is terrible for men but fine enough for women? Like we weren’t already outliving them in general. I’d just be dying to know why, though. You don’t just casually tell me dietary requirements noticeably differ by sex and then never elaborate

    If we wanna get pedantic, everyone in that version of the afterlife goes to the same place anyway. Different areas, definitely different experiences, but Elysium is very much still a circle of Hades.

    Which is a much more…depressing if realistic interpretation, since it basically means “all dogs die.”

    Because this is the internet and one can never be certain of anything, I need to know that you have some idea of the severe emotional isolation that creates dysfunctional abusers and that people who have only ever socialized with (and even prefer) something that physically can’t reject them are not wonderful dating partners. Please say psych.

    There is no problem we are going to fix by distancing ourselves even further from each other, especially not a social one. It is insane. It won’t end well.

    The last relationship I had was 1,185.9km (1,171mi) away and we were together for four and a half years. I mean, yeah, the commute at the start was a day’s endeavor and had to be a whole weekend trip or nada, but you make it work or you don’t.

    You’re really gonna pass up quite possibly your whole future like that based on a ride that wouldn’t even take me out of my state? That used to just be my standard drive to college, one-way? For less than the distance it would take me, living in a coastal area, to reach the ocean, you will die alone
